Hi Guy

[InsaneAsylum]

i meant more along the lines of mechanical....It's only a 1.8 (yeh I know) but i'd like to squeeze a bit more power out of her if possible..??

go for large chrome rims, ones that wieigh about 50kg each. then get more chrome. the more chrome the better, then get neons and as many lights as you can.... that will give you cred




.... on second thought, maybe not.


try fitting a 2" exhaust from the manifold with a resonator and a decent rear muffler (non fart cannon).

make your own cold air intake using stuff from bunnings/some hose and duct supplier.

that will give you a little more power. plus get opel badges, they are good for a few extra ponies plus your car will be void of problems that holdens are faced with

that all sounds a bit macgyverish.. ...anywhere on the net that would help me out.

easy

get pipe

remove existing air intake

attach new pipe to airbox

direct the other end somewhere where air flows cooly

Thanks guys...I am going to have a go.....any one tried this and stuffed it up,,what about these powerchips I have read about in the other forums?? or have I just jumped in too deep...

[oneightoo]

powerchips are good for 1kw per $100 spent..

[InsaneAsylum]

no you haven't gone in too deep, just don't mention anything along the lines of:

"i saw this $30 performance chip on e-bay"

or

"has anyone tried that resistor mod"

or

"it tricks your ecu into adding more fuel, giving more power"


you see the admins are too nice on this forum, if i was admin, you'd be banned for mentioning any of those things.

[oneightoo]

pretty much if you see something that will work out at a $1 per kw it's not worth it, it will cause harm, see something that works out at $100 per kw it's gonna be worth it, well by worth it i mean not as detrimental to your engine..
